One was the league tournament chases. The other was the quest to clinch district tournament berths.

First the league stuff:

LEHIGH VALLEY CONFERENCE

Liberty beat Freedom tonight, but Freedom still has a chance to make the league tourney. The Pates need Parkland, now out of the district picture, to beat Nazareth Sunday night at 6:30. A Parkland win and Freedom gets the wild card slot by virtue of beating the Blue Eagles in their one meeting.

So, Chuck Dibilio (No. 32 right) still have some work to do, on a Sunday night no less.

Whitehall's win over Parkland clinched a LVC berth. The Zephyrs are now in with Liberty and Allen.

Allen plays Central today and there's something at stake for the Canaries. If they win, they are the No. 2 seed in the LVC tournament and can avoid Liberty in Tuesday's semis. If Allen loses, they fall to No. 4 and will have to play Liberty in the 6 p.m. game at Easton.

Whitehall is either going to be the No. 2 or No. 3 seed and has the chance of playing Freedom, Allen or Nazareth. They may have to wait until Sunday night to find out who they're playing.

One thing we definitely know now is that no play-in game will be needed. The semis begin Tuesday and will be held at Easton's Shawnee Middle School Gym and No. 1 seed Liberty will be playing in the first game at 6.

The entire LVC tourney will be held at Easton.

COLONIAL LEAGUE

Bangor won, but was eliminated tonight from the league tournament because Southern Lehigh won.

That last slot is still up for grabs between Saucon Valley and Southern Lehigh.

If Saucon beats Wilson Saturday afternoon, the Panthers get the last spot because of a better record within the South Division. Saucon is currently 5-4 against South foes, Southern Lehigh is 4-6.

Notre Dame clinched the top spot with an overtime win over Wilson on Friday night and will play either Saucon or Solehi in Wednesday's second game at 7:30 at Catty.

The first semifinal matchup is already set and features Wilson against Northern Lehigh. Wilson would get the No. 2 seed by beating Saucon Valley on Saturday, but it really doesn't matter since the matchup is set. Northern Lehigh clobbered Wilson earlier this season at Slatington, a game I covered.

MOUNTAIN VALLEY CONFERENCE

Pocono Mt. West beat Pocono Mt. East 86-81 in a thriller on Friday night and clinched the top seed and the right to host the upcoming MVC tourney.

The Panthers will play ES North in the semis and Stroudsburg will play Pocono East.

DISTRICT 11

Stroudsburg's win over Pleasant Valley on Friday eliminated the Bears from district playoff consideration.

Parkland, Salisbury and Northwestern all were knocked out of districts with losses on Friday.

Central Catholic qualified with its big win over Emmaus, its third straight victory.

The last team on the bubble is Emmaus, which needs to beat Dieruff to qualify.
